The Things I'll Miss Most

Missing is a feeling of emptiness that is waiting to be filled

This summer has flown by and I can't even believe that I will be moving to Florida for five months next week. I have spent the last 21 years of my life living in Pennsylvania and never lived in another state before. This is going to be a new journey for me as well as adapting to the climate change of Florida compared to Pennsylvania.

Here are the many things that I will be missing while I am living in Florida.

1. My Family

This is the number one thing that I will miss most. It's harder and harder each year saying good-bye to my family when I leave for college, but this time I will not see them until January. I am going to miss having Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family this year. The holidays are going to be a little tough this year, but I know that it will be all worth it in the end.

2. My Friends

I love the support from all friends from my hometown and from college. It's not going to be the same not seeing them everyday and hanging out, but I know that they will try to maintain contact and check in on me every once in awhile. Thank the lord for FaceTime, Skype, and texting.

3. College

Now I am a senior in college and my almost four years at Clarion University have flown by . I can't even begin to think about graduating in the spring. I only have one semester left on campus in the spring and I want to make the most of it because I am missing a semester this fall to take on the opportunity of a lifetime. Sadly, I will miss my professors, who have taught me so much and prepared me for life in general. I will also miss the events and adventures that I have with my college family.

4. Snow

I personally don't like the cold, but I will miss seeing snow during the winter. Snow can be a pain, especially walking across campus in it, but it has it's perks. Snow is beautiful and fun to play in. It reminds me of my favorite holiday, which is Christmas. I guess this year it won't be a white Christmas, it will be a paradise Christmas.

5. Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania may not seem like much to some people, but it is home. I have learned to love many parts of PA from the cities to the farmlands and nature, PA is where my heart is at. This state holds everything dear to my heart, which is my family, friends, college, work, and of course all the memories that were created in PA. There are many memories that I have made in PA, but I plan on making some new ones in Florida.

Missing something is like feeling empty, but the way to beat that is emptiness is to be full and remember all the memories of the thing your missing most.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
